Reviews for Eastside – Bellevue
"I am a new patient and have overall been impressed by the responsiveness and care at this location. This was a welcome change after leaving a different network provider that simply couldn't handle the volume of patients there. Washington Gastroenterology has been much better in that regard. Their medical staff is also great, so this has been a win-win for me."
"Had a preventative procedure at this location yesterday. I arrived at at 7:00 AM and left at 8:30 AM. I was surprised how quickly and efficient the staff are here. The reception staff was very friendly and welcoming. The nurses were all wonderful with great bedside manners. The doctor explained everything in detail and the anesthesiologist was also wonderful. Thank you."
"Outstanding professionalism from everyone on staff!"
"Very clean place. Staff are informative, polite, and efficient. Dr. Kim was very good, explained everything and answered all questions."
"I normally do not review medical clinics as it can be fairly private, however I really think this clinic deserves a positive review. I had to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy. I am very difficult IV stick so I showed up early. They got me in with a nurse anesthetist and literally on her first try she got a working IV (Katie Conley) I believe. This made a huge difference especially since I do not feel well and am really depleted. Though I came early to prepare them for multiple IV attempts the entire team was so welcoming and helpful. Thanks so much for making this difficult experience go a bit smoother."
"Nobody looks forward to a colonoscopy, but the whole team here makes it as comfortable as possible. Excellent treatment every step of the way!"
"I have been a patient at WAGI for over 15 years. Dr Selinger and all of the staff are exceptional in providing care each time I have had a procedure."
"Highly recommend. They are very kind and caring."
"Was that a spa or an endoscopy center? Really a first-class experience from start to finish - - the admitting nurse was warm and funny (and helpful), my primary nurse and the IV nurse were great, and both the doctor (Dr. Raj Butani) and anesthesiologist came in right on cue to answer any questions I had. My procedure was scheduled for noon and they were wheeling me into the operating room at 12:00pm on the nose. Colonoscopies are no fun, but the staff at WAGI makes it as bearable as possible. And they seem to have a lot of fun together in the process, which is great."
"Had a colonoscopy, extremely clean facility, knowledgeable, personable and friendly staff. The whole visit went very smoothly, start to finish, in and out in under 2 hours"

"I consider the team that just performed my procedure to be top notch from scheduling and prep to intake, through anesthesia, procedure and then recovery. Everyone was on their game, working hard and efficiently while keeping me safe, comfortable and feeling well cared for. Pre and post communication was all spot on IMO."
"I just love my colonoscopies at your facility"
"Efficient, kind and caring, and thorough."
"Supper!!!"
"Excellent, professional, and competent service from Dr. Yap and his staff. I was very impressed with their helpful, professional, and well crafted communications starting when I made my appointment.

"When I have to get a colonoscopy all over again (next one recommended in 10 years), I'd be happy to go to Eastside Endoscopy Center. Well-organized with clear instructions, using email and telephone, they made sure I was prepared for what to expect. The center called me the day before to remind me of appointment and address questions. I was so well prepared, I now view Gatorade a whole new way, a running joke for the well-prepped crowd. Dr. Mohan was friendly toward me and concerned about preventitive-health maintenance. The nurse anesthetist provided the propofol that helped me wake up in recovery with no memory of the procedure. Thank you. Thank you. All of the nurses were kind and considerate from intake to recovery. Eastside Endoscopy Center demonstrates what caring and professional medical and nursing teams look like. Thank you. Thank you. If I smoked, I'd have a cigarette."
"Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. Ckear we ith instructions and gracious in their care bed, during and after procedure"
"I had a gastroscopy with dr Butani. I was amazed by a very lean and effective proses flow of everything that was happening during the procedure. Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, on time, everything was explained to me. I got a detailed report from the dr right after the procedure and a set of paperwork to go with instructions. I am a very happy patient: time and effectiveness are very important to me on top of their medical expertise and professionalism."
"Worried about this all through covid. They have streamlined the process and it went as smooth as silk! There's no reason to put this off."
"The staff at WAGI did a great job of taking care of me during my recent visit. There is a happy upbeat attitude that sets the tone for the experience. I would recommend them to anyone. Doctor Kim is a very gentle person."
"The staff here is top notch. They treat you with respect and caring from beginning to end. This is my second time here and both experiences were the same, so they must be that good."
"Excellent care during recent colonoscopy. Attentive staff, good COVID protocols, nice work flow. The prep work was actually especially good. Good Rx which made the process easier than I recall from my last procedure."
"Everything was on time no delays, professional, caring, and efficient. No problems during prep, no problems when I returned home. 100% Perfect."
"Excellent from start to finish. Great prep supplies and directions, great procedure and follow-up."

"Well, if you find yourself in need of a colonoscopy as a preventative measure, of the Eastside Endoscopy Center is a good place to go."
"everything went well"
"Staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, and physician were excellent here, very friendly, competent, and concerned with my comfort. I could hear all of them visiting while I waited in the prep area, and they sounded so easy and comfortable with each other, like they have an excellent working relationship, and that is important for all of us. And Dr. Rees-Lui came and spoke to me before the procedure, and she was wonderful when I had to call at 2a.m. during prep with issues I thought would prevent the procedure taking place. I felt very safe having my procedure with this group."
"Very professional and a quick moving team. Nothing but good words about these people..."
"Had an excellent experience recently at Washington Gastroenterology. The nurse was kind and attentive. Dr. Wohlman was pleasant and able to address a couple of questions. This practice is efficient but you do not feel rushed. Highly recommend this practice and facility."
"The gold standard for colon cancer, a colonoscopy from Dr Wolman keeps me safe so I can continue to enjoy my time with my precious grandkids. Competent, professional, nw gastroenterology does a wonderful job and has the entire procedure optimized for your benefit. We are lucky to have them here in our community! Marsha Thrall"
"No one looks forward to a Colonoscopy but the procedure at Washington Gastroenterology was as smooth as can be imagined. The vibe of the staff is that of people who love their work and it shows in their interactions and professionalism. I would highly recommend Dr. Yap and the entire crew at Washington Gastroenterology to anyone ."
"At 6:15 am, EVERYONE was extremely pleasant and helpful. The procedure went as expected with no discomfort before, during, or afterwards. I have an extremely high regard for Dr. Mohan and his team."
"Well organized, with proper details and advanced warning for prep steps I had to take, well organized facility, knowledgeable and caring staff"
"This is my second colonoscopy with Dr. Selinger. Everything went very well. I am highly recommend her."
"Amazing people. Excellent patient care!"
"Excellent care and empathy for whatever procedure needed."
"This was much easier than expected, very professional, no issues."
"Hello, my review would be five stars except the instructions leading up to the colonoscopy do not give you the quantity of the pre-colonoscopy solution you’re supposed to drink, so I drank all of it on the first day no I should’ve had approximately half on one day at approximately half on the day of the colonoscopy. I wish this were clearer. Other than that small thing my experience was as terrific as can be expected :-)"
"Check in is very easy. All the staffs are very friendly and professional. Dr.Kim did the procedure even I didn’t notice. His well matured skills and knowledge help me understand my current symptoms and remove polyps completely. I really have had a goody experience and recommend those who need endo(colono )scopy ."
"Excellent service starting from check in to discharge. All nurses are very friendly and caring. Dr. Yap patiently heard all questions, concerns and addressed them appropriately to my complete satisfaction. I’m truly grateful to have this wonderful team of dedicated experts right here in our neighborhood."
"Everyone we had contact with was professional, friendly, and helpful. I appreciated the next day follow-up as well."
"I was seen immediately for my problem ; I was able to have endoscopy before the end of the week. Everyone was kind and helpful"
"I have been with Dr. Tzung for 15 years and never have any hick ups. This time I used easy prep, only 16oz to drink the stuff. $112 is well worth it. Will do in 5 years, again."
"Great experience and friendly staff."

"My colonoscopy procedure was excellent. Everyone was supportive, professional, efficient, responsive, and informative. My after-procedure discussion with the doctor was brisk and I would have liked a bit more of her time to ask a few other questions. Otherwise, I think the world of her services and have had many colonoscopies by her. One would think that, after all these years, the medical industry would come up with a less distasteful (sic) prep procedure by now."
"Did endoscopy there. Very smooth process and friendly staff! Would highly recommend it!"
"In and out before lunch, they were very friendly and helpful. Dr Yap went over everything in detail after the procedure. Very satisfied"
